How can I feel ready to return from parental leave? with Sophie Harris

The Imposters Club returns for our 5th season, and this time we’re talking WORK. Sinéad’s pivoting her career, Melissa’s returning from maternity leave and the whole world is talking about how we can work better.The time has come. Nursery is booked, start date at work is confirmed, flexible working is approved - and Melissa is feeling EVERYTHING. Returning to work after having a child comes with a lot of conflicting emotions, pressures, and a sense of being pulled in 100 different directions - is it something we can every truly be ready for? Well, probably not - but there are things you can do to prepare practically and emotionally. We’re joined this week by pregnancy and postpartum therapist Sophie Harris aka @looking_after_mum, to talk about managing expectations, honest conversations and feeling more confident about returning to work.Follow Sophie Harris on Instagram @looking_after_mumLearn more about Sophie Harris and Looking After MumResources:My Bump Pay: mybumppay.comMother Pukka & Flex Appeal, ‘Forever Flex’ Report: https://www.motherpukka.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Forever_Flex_report_FINAL-03.11.20.pdf National Childbirth Trust, ‘Returning To Work After Maternity Leave’: https://www.nct.org.uk/life-parent/work-and-childcare/returning-work/returning-work-after-maternity-leave The Imposters Club is a Morley Radio production.
